Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been making headlines for months. After being one of the most polarizing figures in the 2025 NFL Draft, his plummet to the fifth round sent shockwaves through the league.

Despite the drama surrounding the young signal caller, he has already begun his training with the Browns. There is a chance that Sanders could start, but he presumably has a long way to climb up the ranks of a stacked quarterback room.
Now, Sanders is facing more heat due to an awkward interview he had with Kids Sports Reporters.
KidsSportsReporters are two brothers who get to travel and meet some of the highest-profile athletes in the world. Though their questions are often simple and entertaining, they can often stop certain people in their tracks.
That appeared to be the case when co-host Huddy asked Sanders a simple question about who he is excited to play with in the NFL in 2025.

"Who are you most excited to play with in the NFL this season?"
Sanders' answer not only stopped Huddy, but it also led to fans roasting him in the comments.
"The Cleveland Browns. Yeah, the Cleveland Browns," Sanders responded.
Huddy looked into the camera, seemingly understanding the awkward moment, and the interview has gone viral for Sanders' odd response. Though he might have been trying to just praise his team and excitement playing for the Browns, fans went off on him.

MLFootball shared the interview pulled from TikTok, and the fans commented on how awkward Sanders' response was.
He's just so unlikeable — AgLandGuy (@CAagland) May 18, 2025
He's low IQ. For sure. — Hakim (@kareemjeanjr) May 18, 2025
Just imagine how poorly his NFL interviews went — Cujo Knows (@cujoknows) May 18, 2025
Some responses were more on the positive side, commenting that Sanders was merely trying to hype up his new team.
He's simply trying to be a team guy. — Big Ben's Burner (@Blitzburghstil1) May 18, 2025
i don't think this is what he meant by it — 🦅Coop〽️ (@QuinyonClamps) May 18, 2025
Great answer! Looking forward to playing with his new team. He hopes to make the Browns roster. Even with that, the trolls are still coming after that answer. 🙄 — jordan (@jordan530392676) May 19, 2025
Due to the answer and the way that Sanders was portrayed in reports during and after the draft, it is likely that he is going to continue making plenty of headlines for many years to come.
Sanders will have to compete with Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett for the starting spot, or even QB2. The young passer has his work cut out for him, but he may shine in training camp and preseason.
Flacco is the presumed starter right now, and Pickett would be the presumed QB2, leading to either Gabriel or Sanders battling it out for the emergency QB3 and practice squad slot.

Houston Texans sign former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans have signed former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb, the team announced on Monday. Chubb made four Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Cleveland, but was limited by injuries the past two years. He suffered a left knee injury in Week 2 at Pittsburgh in 2023 and remained sidelined until Week 7 in 2024. He then played in eight games before breaking his foot and finished with 332 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Chubb could join a backfield that features Joe Mixon. The two-time Pro Bowler had 1,016 yards in his first year with Houston after seven seasons in Cincinnati. The Texas won the AFC South at 10-7 before losing at Kansas City in the divisional round of the playoffs. The 29-year-old Chubb has run for 6,843 yards since the Browns selected him in the second round in the 2018 NFL draft. He is third on the team's career list behind Hall of Famers Jim Brown (12,312) and Leroy Kelly (7,274). Chubb rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 TDs in 2022. He has averaged 5.1 yards per carry during his seven seasons. ___

Patriots' Mike Vrabel Explains What Leadership Is to Him
Patriots' Mike Vrabel Explains What Leadership Is to Him originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New England Patriots' new head coach Mike Vrabel has always been known as a leader and culture builder in the NFL. When Vrabel got his first head coaching opportunity with the Tennessee Titans, he led them to four-straight winning seasons and three playoff appearances. Advertisement Vrabel's teams have always been built on grit and toughness, just as he displayed during his 14-year NFL career. Monday morning, Vrabel met with the media and was asked about the leadership of his quarterback, Drake Maye. But his response focused more on what he believes leadership is. "I don't think it matters if you're a quarterback or an offensive lineman or a running back or a defensive back. It's about your ability to reach certain players," Vrabel said. "We don't want to have any gaps. So hopefully, you know what to do, you're prepared, you do things the right way, you're a good listener, you can adapt to what happens and adapt to the people that you're talking to, maybe based on what they need." New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel (c) works with players at rookie camp at Gillette Canha-Imagn Images Vrabel is in the midst of a rebuild in New England. The Patriots dominated the 2010s, playing in five Super Bowls and winning three. But since 2020, New England has had just one winning season. Advertisement The Patriots fired Jerod Mayo and brought in their former player Vrabel as the new head coach this season to try to bring back the grit, intensity, and discipline New England displayed during Bill Belichick's 24-year tenure. The first step for Vrabel, building leaders and relationships in his locker room. "Sometimes people need a little different encouraging and sometimes you need a little bit firmer hand and maybe a little bit more firmer stance," Vrabel said. "I think that's all important in understanding and getting to know each person before you can start to lead them." All signs from the offseason point to positivity in that department so far, as Vrabel continues to develop and grow the leadership of his young quarterback and new team.

Fox Sports Taking Heat for Its Terry Bradshaw Decision
Saturday marked the final race in one of sports' most time-honored traditions: the Triple Crown of horse racing. Fans flocked to New York and tuned in on FOX to see Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty defeat Preakness winner Journalism once again to take two of the three crown jewel races. Fans enjoyed the on-track action, but they were dismayed by FOX's decision to include an analyst from a completely different sport. Advertisement Former NFL quarterback and longtime NFL on FOX analyst Terry Bradshaw handled some of the pre-race festivities, and the Hall of Famer struggled through some of the presentation. He named Saturday's race as the "137th" Belmont Stakes, when it was actually the 157th running of the race. "I appreciate someone other than NBC having coverage of a big horse race, but Fox really needs to work on production. The crowd mic is potted astronomically high, and Terry Bradshaw has no place on the broadcast," said one sports journalist on social media. "Imagine being a horse racing expert and you get your moment on TV on one of the very few days your sport gets to shine and you're ready to show your wisdom and spread love of your sport to the masses and then you're placed on equal footing to Terry Bradshaw," another person said. Advertisement The tradition of adding crossover properties to horse racing is nothing new. NBC went all-out in 2025 for the Kentucky Derby, inviting and speaking with several celebrities and names from its several networks, shows and movies on traditional television. "NBC Sports needs the entire Triple Crown. Fox Sports is bad. Terry Bradshaw bad," another horse racing fan said. FOX may not be the preferred home of horse racing for the average fan, but in order to get the full Triple Crown experience, they'll need to deal with the network for at least a few more years. FOX and the New York Racing Association have negotiated a rights deal that makes the network the exclusive home of the race and all associated events on the grounds through at least 2030. Advertisement "FOX Sports has quickly become the year-round home of the finest thoroughbred racing in the country,' said NYRA president and CEO Dave O'Rourke. After Saturday's experience, it seems that more than a few fans would beg to differ. Fox Sports Taking Heat for Its Terry Bradshaw Decision first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025
